Here is what I have so far (just putting it here so I don't lose it):
My first interest into the bombing campaigns of Second World War began in 2006 whilst reading Kevin Wilson's, Men of Air: The Doomed Youth of Bomber Command. My initial research, prompted by my history extension teacher Mr Wright, was an inquiry into the bombing of Tokyo. However insufficient sources were available to me and the sources that I had obtained were limited. I then decided to change the event of my research whilst keeping ethics the core focus of my work and so the bombing of Dresden instead, recalling that Mr Wright had mentioned it during a lesson. It was also briefly mentioned in Kevin Wilson's aforementioned book.
My research into the subject has exposed a long running argument between those that believe Dresden was a tactically feasible objective and those who think that it was immoral to bomb a city so removed from the front line.
about 20% done!
